Perfect cork.
Fantastic ripe plum notes to the nose and palate. I don't know the exact blending percentages of the grapes, but assume CS is dominant since it's listed first on the back label. But, the Merlot is most prominent at this age and it's singing a beautiful song tonight after 3H in the decanter. Last bottle from release purchase in April 2006, winery direct. — 2 months ago

It didn’t go well with turkey—what actually does?—but damn this was excellent. Deep, complex, tannin very well managed, surprising acidity. 14.4% alc. Second killer bottle of this. It’s going to be hard to leave the last one alone for a few more years! — a month ago
